id="NODSuperiorObelisk"
EditorName="NODObelisk"
TypeDescription="Type:NODSuperiorObelisk"
Description="Desc:NODSuperiorObelisk">
Name:NODObelisk

AFAIK All name should be the same ?


and AFAIK the mod name : TheGreatTiberiumWar is to big! It should be a max of 15 afaik.. and this is larger... iam going to rename it and try if it works ;)!

i used the Samplemod's mod.xml ... I renamed the supernodpowerplant to : Nodpowerplant .. Renamed the Superior obelisk to NodObelisk ! And AFAIK thats only what i ahve done.... The 3 buildings Are showing Invisble ingame! More i didnt change.. i didnt check if the Spiketower was invisble to...

Btw, i also renamed the mod from Thegreattiberiumwar to TGTW !

15 characters is the max, it's mentioned in the documentation.

k it mostly works i tried it and everything but there is one thing, my buildings i moddified were invisible and i couldnt select them, what is causeing this error and how can i fix it?

Check to make sure static.xml and global.xml are included as references in the mod.xml file. You need them to have the game properly resolve the art assets. It should look like this:
<Include type="reference" source="DATA:static.xml" />
<Include type="reference" source="DATA:global.xml" />

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

It shouldn't. If the strings are wrong they will just say MISSING: before them. In your SDK directory, check the builtmods\cnc3xml and make sure that there is a static.manifest and global.manifest there.

From your Mod SDK root folder, open BuiltMods, then cnc3xml. There should be static.manifest and global.manifest. You may need to right click them to see the extension, I'm not sure if Windows hides that or not.

What didn't work?

We can't offer you help if you use such vague descriptions.
Try reading the text that buildmod.bat generates, I'm yet to have an error that hasn't been caught by (and explained in) that text.

You don't need to give it to us, just read it.
It should say in plain English "Error" then tell you what (or at least where) the error is.

Ignore any referring to missing .w3x files or texture .xml files though as they don't cause crashes.

It means what it says. You have a really screwed up include path somewhere. Fix it.

and error gameobject alientiberiumtower has unamed module supplycentercreate

That is EALA's mistake, they forgot the id attribute for that behaviour module. This won't really affect the game though.

Yeah, improving your grammar (e.g. using proper punctuation) wouldn't be bad either.

Urgh... read the documentation :p The include paths need to be:

DATA:-YOURMOD-/Data/-YOUR-/-PATH-/-YOURFILE-.xml
